Square Bale Accumulator For 12 Bales Flat

This F12 bale accumulator system is chosen for the fact that the bales are on their strings and still fill an 8.5-foot wagon from side to side. With a touch lower operating weight requirement than the E15, with the same footprint, it is a good compromise. We recommend the F12 bale system for 15,000-30,000 bales per year.

The F12 Accumulator System

  • Bales arranged flat with their string side down, 4 bales wide/3 bales long
  • Handles bales from 32” to 40” in length
  • 12-bale group is well-suited to fill a 20’ wagon
  • The bale group dimensions are 72” wide by 96”- 120” long

Straight Chute

The straight chute allows each bale to stay flat on its strings, while the baler provides the force needed to push the bales to the top of the chute.

Stainless Steel Deck

The stainless steel deck provides a better surface for the bales to slide in higher dirt and moisture conditions.

Gravity-Driven Gates and Final Bale Lever

As gravity moves the bales downward, the last bale in each row swings a gate to open the next row. The last bale in the grab opens the back gate.

Automatic Back Gate

The last bale in the grab opens the back gate. As the accumulator unloads itself, springs automatically return all the gates back to their starting position, and the rear gate snaps back shut, ready for the next bale.

CORNERING GUIDE BELT

Sharp turns are no problem as the guide belt keeps bales properly aligned and moving up the chute.

Bale Handlers
For the F12 Accumulator System

Steel Tube frame

This quality steel frame ensures high strength and durability.

Cast steel bale hooks

Once the group is tight, a single hydraulic cylinder rotates all the hooks simultaneously into the top of the bales to pick up the group. These durable hooks allow for 2 hooks per bale to ensure the bundle is secure while transporting bundles.

Adjustable Crowd Bar

The Standard Grabber features an adjustable crowd bar that is mounted on the side of the grabber. When approaching a group of bales, the adjustable crowd bar works in combination with the back frame to crowd the bale group together.
